. Bulletin. Ethnology. San Juan Pueblo woman polishing a Bowl wag made, the plastic nature of the ma- terial having led to the shaping of many fanciful forms. Florida burial mounds contain many rudely shaped vessels, often. paddle stamps for decorating pottery, o, Figures Cut IN WOOD, Cherokee; b, cord Covered (restoration) toy-like, liesides other articles of clay in great variety, manifestly intended as mor- tuary offerings and not to serve any prac- tical end (Moore). The ornamentation of vases included the modeling of various life forms in the round and in relief, and incising, im- printing, and stamping designs of many kinds in the soft clay. The more advanced potters employed color in surface finish and in executing various designs. The designs were often geometric and primi- tive in type, but in many sections life forms were introduced in great variety and profusion, and these were no doubt often symbolic, having definite relation.
